I have been coding a website for a while, and with a recent boost of popularity, it is time to switch from my grid hosting (Media Temple) to a virtual dedicated (Media Temple). I am, unfortunately the only person on the job...

Now that I have to set up the server from scratch and maintain it I am in way over my head. I am great at understanding tutorials, etc...but I don't even know what kind of tutorial I need?

Where are some good places to start learning about how to setup and maintain my new server?
